Tears of a Clown: Barbara Walters on a "Sensitive" Brian Frons
Whoopi Goldberg brought up the cancellations of All My Children and One Life To Live on The View today. When it was time for The View co-creator, Barbara Walters to weigh in, she revealed how "upset" ABC Daytime President Brian Frons was. Walters stated:
We all found out on Thursday and Brian Frons who is the head of daytime, was when he announced it, although it's was a terrible shock , he was about as sensitive... He was almost in tears himself.
Really, in tears? We all saw the video Frons made... He didn't look too torn up about blowing apart AMC and OLTL in favor of The Chew and The Revolution to me. Plus, didn't he just finish telling Deadline this had been in the works for over a year? Why would he be emotional if he's known about it for that long? ABC's lack of PR consistency strikes again!

I was actually laughing when she said that!!!
I heard Sheri saying she first watch AMC with her grandmother while she was braiding her hair. They basically just towed the company line.
Tears right!!! That video showed what a cold, heartless idiot he is!!!

Did anyone noticed ABC got that video pulled down from YouTube? Fortunately, enough of us saw it so we can tell our children and our children's children what a tool that guy always was!

He was near tears because he knew he would have to leave work in the underground tunnels that day...he was probably scared. You can't blame them for doing what their bosses want, it's just pretty frustrating to hear all this pablum[a word I learned from All My Children :-)].

That makes it offical, no more watching the Veiw those women have to know that many people are going to turn off anything ABC once this is all said and done. That includes them. No need to have the DVR's tape useless shows. Who wants to watch grown women talk over eachother. If I want to see that I can call my sister. Buh bye Babs

Unlike Whoppie and Sherri and Elisabeth who are Soap Fans I don't think Barbara Walters may be she feels if she keeps quite she will still have Job where as Whoopie tell like it is.

In all fairness though, some of the blame needs to fall on the shoulders of Sweeney Todd, the bitch mass murderer of ABC soaps.

Barbara was trying to get a show on herself. A male version of the view. I did not see the view today. I was doing something else at the time. I am trying to decide what to do with the ABC boycott, etc. Looking at the soaps and I think they are fools not to keep OLTL. It is the best. I keep posting this because it makes me feel better.

Umm ... me thinks Babs has Frons confused with The Fonz ... maybe she should have him, Frons, on her 10 most influential asshats and then he can cry during their interview .. bullsheet

I swear If The Male Version Of The View Was Ready To Go, It Would Have Taken GH's Time Slot. Trust That.

I want to see that picture of him crying! And if he was crying I bet those were tears of fear of how many fans would get in that tail for canceling these shows.

I don't expect her to get on Frons' show to say he's an idiot. I mean what else can she say "Damage Control." Classic Frons. The Mouse House wants these gone. He's their henchman they hired him to develop new shows he did his job.
Instead of him trying to figure out a way to "keep" soaps on air he fails and again everything he's done he's destroyed and is a millionaire for re-hashing other creations from other channels. Remember his success were copying American creations by others for shows overseas.
He lies and lies continuously... habitually...he said these are rumors he didn't even tell his employees until after the press release when he assured all that its not true. Its the bad people of the press; I can go on but why bother. He's ageist, misogynistic and has no use for people of color. He wrote these shows in the ground he said he was re-defining the genre "with his vision."
He personally dictated story and put his favorites up front and center to brand his shows while those he didn't like for some odd reason because they didn't fit his definition of pretty and / or sexy he destroyed in story to stifle their popularity and kept them backburnered...this man is a liar and I am not interested in anything he does because I know the vision behind it. Why in the hell am I seeing Kelly Monaco and Laura Wright the face of GH and not the actress who was with this show since age seven Kimberly McCoullough not marketing this show as the face of GH...I'll tell you why they are on his pets list that's why.
